OAI-PMH source import list

Purpose

OAI-PMH Source Import List manages known OAI-PMH sources.

Use it to organize repository endpoints before harvesting records.

What You Can Do Here

• OAI-PMH Source Import List manages known OAI-PMH sources.
• Define the source, target, format, collection, and expected size before starting.
• Monitor progress because large transfers continue beyond the initial request.

Page Architecture

Import and export pages translate external data formats into YaCy documents or move YaCy index data into another store. Most long-running actions create background work that should be monitored afterward.

Control	Meaning	Values or examples
item_#[count]#	Choice value. Options: mark_.	mark_

Correct Use

Prepare source and target details before starting: file path or URL, format, collection, credentials if needed, and expected size. Imports and exports can continue in the background, so confirm progress on the related monitor or queue page.

Access And Safety

Administrator access is required. YaCy protects _p pages as administration pages.

Protected related endpoint(s): /IndexImportOAIPMH_p.html, /IndexImportOAIPMHList_p.html.

Automation And API

Page backend: source/net/yacy/htroot/IndexImportOAIPMHList_p.java.

Endpoint	Method	Access	Backend
/IndexImportOAIPMH_p.html	POST	admin	source/net/yacy/htroot/IndexImportOAIPMH_p.java
/IndexImportOAIPMHList_p.html	GET or POST	admin	source/net/yacy/htroot/IndexImportOAIPMHList_p.java

Parameter Guide

The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default. Low-level generated parameters are omitted when they are only meaningful inside the rendered YaCy form.

Parameter	Meaning and valid values	Care
item_#[count]#	Choice value. Options: mark_.	Controls the scope or format of the result. Prefer the narrowest value that answers the request.
agentName	Crawler user-agent profile used for outgoing HTTP requests. Choose a profile that matches the desired identity and politeness behavior.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.

Example request shape:

POST /IndexImportOAIPMH_p.html
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

loadrows=...&allswitch=...&item_#[count]#=...&agentName=...&getlist=...

What To Expect

Small operations may finish during the request; large imports, exports, harvests, and package operations usually need monitoring. Expect progress, logs, queue entries, or generated files rather than instant final search quality.
